LONDON, Oct. 20-Mr. Gladstone Ia all
right again. That IL the best news Of the
week. MIRA Gladstone has watched over his
throat and voice and over his health generally
with loving care that might shame tho demon
strative solicitude Of a hen with one chick.
Shut up in his room oil day long, with Cruel
and hot lemonade to 20 to sleep on, the Grand
Old Man has been for almost q week the VIC
tim Of oonjugal coercion. but the treatment
has succeeded, and he has almost entirely re-
covered from the serious attack brought on BY
chill and exhaustion eight days ago. The
grand old bugbear OF Toryism Is far
from being docile patient He has done
things that he ought not to have done, such as
going out to plant trees, and on his way back
to Hawarden yesterday. In spite OF all remon-
STRANGE, he put his head out Of the railroad
carriage window at Stalybridge to speak to the
crowd; but there he was thwarted. for Mrs.
Gladstone had palpably fixed things with the
guard. and as soon as the speech began the
whistle sounded and of dashed the train. scat

empty fields and compelling him to submit and
bring his delicate throat in out OF the damp mir.

the Liberals are jubilating now In proportion to
their former anxiety. which has been great
kilograms Of inquiry poured steadily in upon
Lord Vernon, whose guest Mr.. Gladstone was,
and the newspapers have been read as anx-
iously as though the illness had been OF the
most serious kind: which all goes to prove
moro fully that Gladstone Is the real head and
big man generally Of this kingdom.
Commenting upon symptoms OF renewed
activity among the dynamiters in my letter Of
Sept. 8, called attention to the fact that any
action on the part OF Irish extremists could
only strengthen the hands Of the coercionists.
and suggested that the Tories could not do
better than organize some harmless dynamite
scares OF their own to turn aside the current OF
English popular feeling running 80 strongly
toward ireland. Tho idea seems to have COM
mended itself to the Tory managers. For
weeks the detectives have been at work trying
to unearth some plot with which to curdle the
blood OF the placid British ratepayer. The
unearthing process progressed very slowly.
however. so much so that tho Government
lost patience. It was necessary to do some-
thing to counteract the sympathy for the homo
rule cause which Gladstone was spreading
everywhere through the country. and Scotland
Yard was ordered to give to the public such
terrifying facts as they had at hand without
further delay. 1t was painful for the detec-
tives who really appeared to have gotten on
the trail Of suspicious persons. but they dared
rot refuse to obey the order to get up q scare.
and at once man named Cohen. one OF the
suspected, died. He had been suffering for
weeks from bronchitis and for months from
lung disease. 1t Ia true. and PHYSICIANS Dor
init for burial had been properly granted. but
there was an opportunity to make his death
mysterious and to parade him as victim
Of his dynamite associates. Commissioner
Monro ordered the Coroner to prevent the

more able and sensational matter about the
case than could be produced BY men to whom

and although nothing was proved there were
printed long stories involving Nationalist men,

anarrow escape from death had been had BY
Queen Victoria. her eight cream-colored po-
mics, and all who helped In their jubilee func-

average Britisher ceases to be sensible when
